Hello,

it's not possible to build sharutils 4.11.1 with glibc-2.16.6:

make[4]: Entering directory `/home/test/fedora/sharutils/sharutils-4.11.1/lib'
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..  -I../intl   -O2 -g -pipe -Wall 
-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector 
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4  -m64 -mtune=generic -c localcharset.c
In file included from localcharset.c:28:0:
./stdio.h:494:1: error: ‘gets’ undeclared here (not in a function)

The reason is glibc-2.16 stopped declaring gets(3) in modern build environments
and this makes bundled gnulib unhappy, where the error is from. gnulib
developers has fix
<http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/30298>.

Please update the gnulib or apply the fix to sharutil copy.
